Is there some study that shows a correlation between being a T&F fan and insomnia?

For people in Canada who don't have cable or sattelite you can see the finals next Saturday 10:30 mountain time or 12:30 eastern time on CBC.

This is why God created VCR's.

I can remember a few years back when the daily World Champs coverage didn't begin until after 11pm local time. By the end of the week, I was really worn down. Even with the VCR going, it's difficult to wait until its over and just watch the tape.

I know I've been one to complain about television coverage in the past, but I think we've gotta appreciate the amount of televised track we've been getting the last 3-4 years or so. All the Golden League meets? That's pretty dang good. Much better than when I was a kid and the Dream Mile and NYC Marathon were the only two televised events every year.
